Ring of Royal Grandeur
The point here is to get 3 Del and 5 Tal Rasha pieces with the Royal Ring to get both set bonuses. I used the pieces with the best stats without losing set bonuses. Many builds use Furnace in the cube however, I find Bane of the Stricken to be sufficient for elite damage. It is very important to be using an Ancient weapon for maximum damage.
The bracers I chose will provide great survive-ability when utilizing teleport more. An important note is that Slow Time will gain the damage type based on your highest dmg % increase. With that in mind, I enchant my bracers to have cold damage for the cold meteors to proc.
I have seen the Molten gem not used on other builds but it helps a lot with survival. If you want to replace it then I would recommend Gem of Efficacious toxins.
Edit: I have removed Bane of the Striken and changed my cube to Furnace. I have also decided to use glacial spike rather than shock pulse.

Build Guide
This build is very similar to many Del Rasha builds currently out there. I have been doing 55+ rifts and it performs well. There are builds similar to this out there with many alternatives. I have found this build to suit my play style best and the survival and toughness are great.
My rotation and general play style are such:
Get a slow time up first and teleport in and out for the stun and arcane damage provided by teleport. After that, hold down the primary shock pulse and spam meteor. While holding down the primary, keep as much slow time up as possible and teleport around frequently for the stuns and arcane damage.
Make sure to refresh magic weapon and energy armor. The ability to teleport at will is amazing for surviving and speed clearing rifts.
Most importantly, make sure you have fun with your build. No matter what class or build you choose, make sure it provides the most fun. Don't get discouraged when you see the leaderboards full of monk and barb teams. Play a Wizard because you love it!! Good Luck!!
How have you been going with bane of the stricken? I've read a lot, and tested myself and the del ser's bubble does not increase the stacks. Which means only meteor and shock pulse are.
Which combined, is way way to slow to get any value. I stuck with efficacious toxin (also doesn't add to banes stack)
This may be correct. I have not noticed this because I run with a group and my group members all run Stricken as well. I heard that the stacks accumulate for the whole party?? I might go back to toxin based on your comment though. Thanks for the comment.
I made alterations for this build.
For the cube..You definitely DO NOT need Gesture of Orpheus on there..The dels with make the CD low enough. Use Furnace instead.
Focus and Restraint? .. NAW Use Halo Ring / Convection of Elements .. 200% damage increase for each meteor (If your good at timing it) is better than 100% dmg. Plus the halo ring gives HUGE survivibility since you are using teleport for the melee arcane meteor
Thanks for the reply. I will test your alterations.
